Are you looking to enter the insurance industry for the first time, either straight from school or as an experienced professional in a corporate function? Are you wondering what this industry is all about? Well, not to worry, here's what you need to know before taking the plunge.

You're about to enter an industry that impacts people's lives. Insurance has been around for a long time and has become an essential part of everyday living. Without insurance to protect yourself and the things you value, the economy would come to a standstill. It would be too risky to open and operate a business or even drive a car. All it would take is one fire or a simple accident to destroy years of effort.

The idea behind insurance is fairly simple - it uses the payments of many to cover the losses of a few. It is designed to protect clients against serious, and unforeseen, loss or injury that they could not pay for otherwise. Every year, our clients' premiums go into one large pool, which is used to pay any claims that are made. It's all about spreading or sharing the risk.

Insurance is split up into different kinds or lines of business. RSA is focused solely on property and casualty insurance, which includes automobile, property, and commercial/business insurance. Equally as important as our insured customers are the brokers who sell our products. Our focus on customer service stems to our relationships with our brokers as much as to our insured customers.

There are a number of areas within RSA in which you can apply your skills. We invite you to explore the types of roles we hire for and see which positions would be a good fit for your interests and skills.
